NURS6501 Week 7: Concepts of Neurological and Musculoskeletal Disorders Part 1
NURS6501 Week 7: Concepts of Neurological and Musculoskeletal Disorders Part 1 NURS6501 Week 7: Concepts of Neurological and Musculoskeletal Disorders Part 1 Anatomists often use the analogy of a house to explain the human body, with skeletal systems, respiratory systems, and circulatory systems represented as a homes framing structure, ventilation, and piping, respectively. Such analogies further emphasize the point that relationships between systems can result in complications when issues arise in one system. With hundreds of diseases that can impact the brain, spine, and nerves, neurological disorders represent a complicated array of issues that present significant health concerns. Disorders such as strokes and Parkinsons disease not only affect the nervous system, however; they can have secondary impacts in other areas, especially the musculoskeletal system. This week, you examine fundamental concepts of neurological disorders. You explore common disorders that impact these systems and you apply the key terms and concepts that help communicate the pathophysiological nature of these issues to patients.
